Before Sunrise

Pros: Hawke and Delpy, simple story, the great setting
Cons: that sunrise seemed to come so early

Love can't be pinned down as an exact science, and we go through life not knowing what is behind the next door, not knowing when love will poke its way into our lives. It can come across our path at anytime, and in anyplace, and that is where the best ...

Pros: Writing, acting, direction, everything
Cons: None

Before Sunrise is one of the most profound and compelling movies I have ever seen. The simple plot is about an American man (Ethan Hawke) who meets a Parisian girl (Julie Delpy) on a train as they travel through Vienna, Austria. The man is flying back to ...

Pros: A simple, obvious, but brilliant romance-plot premise, whose actors have chemisty, charisma, and wit.
Cons: You're watching people talk for 90 minutes, without you getting a word in edgewise.

The videocassette cover of Before Sunrise could easily be mistaken for that of a Harlequin ro ...

Pros: Acting. Script.
Cons: Simplicity. A third act decision.

I am a guy who generally shuns romantic movies, but I had always been intrigued by the simple premise of Before Sunrise, a 1995 film about a man and a woman who fall in love literally overnight. I never got around to seeing it until recently, ...

Pros: Direction/Script, Locations, Cinematography, Editing, Music, Hawke & Delpy.
Cons: None.

Following the 1991 low-budget, seminal indie classic Slacker and the 1993 70s stoner-comedy Dazed & Confused, Richard Linklater was become one of the 1990s premier American filmmakers. His exploration of youth and culture along with the ...

Pros: Beautiful setting in Vienna, not your typical romance story.
Cons: None.

Before Sunrise is a 1995 movie written and directed by Richard Linklater. It stars Ethan Hawke as Jesse and Julie Delpy as Celine, the two main characters in this movie. It is a romance, but a different kind of romance that only spans the time ...

Pros: The wonderful direction of Richard Linkletter, and the acting by Hawke and Delpy.
Cons: can go on a tad too long

I've always had mixed feelings about Valentine's Day; maybe it's because around this time of year, I never have someone to celebrate with. Stop, Jennifer! Don't feel sorry for yourself! Okay, okay, I'm stopping. But I know I'm not the only girl out there...

Pros: Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke, the screenplay.
Cons: I wanted to see the play with the cow.

Everybody knows the old chestnuts concerning French girls: they're snooty, world-weary, smoke like chimneys, papery-bodied, always clutching a lit cigarette, were draining full glasses of wine at age 8, lost their virginity at 12. It's every American...

Pros: none.
Cons: I don't think I could even sell this on ebay

Before Sunrise has to be one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. I thought well maybe it just has a slow beginning so I stayed after the first boring 10 minutes, then I thought well maybe the first 30 minutes of boring dialogue is just...

Pros: read the review
Cons: read the review

Is it possible to fall in love in one night? Or in one minute? What about love at first sight? I'm not sure about the latter two, but I do believe the first notion, mostly because "Before Sunrise" proves it can happen. Finally, a film has completely ...

Pros: nice dialogues, wonderful screenplay
Cons: not recommended to those who prefer "action-filled" movies

At first, I thought Before Sunrise would be a typical boy-meets-girl type of story - cheesy and full of corny dialogues. But I proved myself wrong when it turned out to actually be an "intelligent" romance where the characters' "meeting of...

Pros: Strong script, convincing performances from Hawke and Delpy
Cons: Meanders at parts

Movies are just too complicated sometimes, all plot twists and far-fetched action sequences. Some are good but a lot of them are a tedious viewing experience. What we long for after seeing too much formulaic Hollywood assembly-line product is something...

Pros: The feeling is overwelming
Cons: It only lasted one day

When the sun comes up, the feeling of having the one you cherish, admire, feel, and love... by your side is a dreamcast of reality. This movie has to be ranked as one of my number one relationship flicks. The way two people collide and meet in an place...

Pros: Witty; charming; good acting; awesome chemistry
Cons: Weak plot; not much in way of action

With no big name stars, save Ethan Hawke, and no big budget special effects, Before Sunrise wasn’t ever going to be a blockbuster hit. When I heard the premise, I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but didn’t have anything better to do, so I watched it and I was...

Pros: Great love story
Cons: Unnecessary sex scene

It it always interesting to see how men and women respond to the same movie, book, play or TV show in totally different ways(see my Epinion on
"Girl, Interrupted".) When I saw "Before Sunrise" for the first time, in a second-run...
